After the los of the giant White Slar liner Titanic la April. 1012, by Ntrlking an Iceberg there was much diacusalon iu Europe aud America a lo the possibility of adopting measures lo lessen the likelihood of aucb disas ters Id future. An "International con ference for the saving of Ufa at sea." which was held at London.' resulted. among other iblug. In eu undertaking by the principal marine powers of Ibe world to maintain an Ice patrol on the north Atlantic from February to June lu each year. It waa agreed that tbla tea patrol abould be carried out by the United Htates on behalf of the various coon tries represented, the cost to be borne by them pro rata. Britain to pay ZS par cant of the total; Germany. France and ibe United Btatee IB par cent aack and Austria. Belgium, Canada. Den mark. Italy. Holland. Norway. Russia and Sweden from 4 to S per cent each. The American autbortflee Inaugurat ed tbla patrol service with the naval scoot cruisers Birmingham and Cbea ter. but later assigned the revenae cut tern Beaaea and Miami to tbla duty. which ahlpa bar since continued It. Tha Bret season St John's was eboaaa for the work, but ultimately It was found mora convenient to u til Ire Ball fas. Nova Scotia, because tba area pa trolled war Month of 8t John's and extended farther south as tha season advanced awd tba anna da a of Iceberg became more numerous. Kacb cutter patrols the lea region for Bftsea dnys. It Is a three day ran from Halifax to the Ice aoue. with a return voyage of about tba same dura tion. The ships arrange their move ment by wireless communication, so that tba service la absolutely contin uous. Dally bulletins of tha floea and bergs seen and of the trend of the fog Infeated areas are furnished by wire lens to the bydrographlc ouVes lu the rapltala of the rountrlee contributing lo tha upkeep of this service, and warnings are also scut by wire lean telegraph to all steamera plying In tbe berg strewn xsxtlows. , Kacb season tbe patrol shlis are add Ing to the stock of knowledge regard ing the Ice 'area, and tbe results of their Investigations are published In tbe ofBclsl records; but, aa la too often tbe rase, tbe world gets to know very little of them. Among some of tbe eont-lualoaa reached la that under arAl nary coudltloua It ut nsitiie to aee an Iceberg twelve tu Bftevn utiles from the ship's bridge, about sn extra mile from tba crow's nest, and still another mile from tbe signal yard on tbe foremasL In especially clear1 went her bergs may be eeeu from eighteen tu tweuty miles, but on a cloudy ility. with good visibility, a deduction of about two miles must be made. With the search light It la possible to see an Iceberg about two in I lea on a dimly moonlit night aud about three mile when tbe moon seta. ' Another welKhty fact for mariners l that It la possible for lookouts on very large ahlpa to be hhiher than the tup of a small berg, an that on a dark night these observer would huve ou unbroken view of the horlon over the top of a "growler." or low lying berg, half a mile or a mile away, and thus anally miss aeelng the oliMructlnn until too late to avoid It. A theory exploded by the leg patrol sbliw Is thnt the proximity or Ice Is marked by a notable lowering of air lomperatura. Experiment, covering three years have proved that such Is not tha caae and tbat, aa a rule, there la little or no vliuuge lu the tempera ture of the air tienr an Iceberg Kijunl ly fitllacloua la the Idea that the pre- euce of a berg Is denoted by a lower Ing of tun temperature of the water As a matter of fuel, the very contrary la the rase. Other theories, as (but echoes luUl ente tbe presence of berg, thnt Ice dl clones Itself through what la known as the "Ice blluk" and thnt siiliiunrlne "ears" on ships will revenl the near ness of Ice by Its pecullur motion through the wave, Inive been proved equnlly unfounded. In truth, the testi mony of the comninudcra ofthte pa trol ships Is thnt the only wifo way to uavlgnlo rei'inn of IccIhm'k Is to stop during thick weather and to run very slowly on dark nights. Tlio outstanding fact, therefore, with regard to this Ire Patrol service Is thi't It Is markedly effective In lessening the dniiKor to ships traversing the Ice sone by tht warnings which It sends mil from tiny to day, which enable passing vessel to give a wide berth to theso obstructions.
